GENERAL IN A HAMPER.
RUSSIAN OFFICER'S FATE.
A Russian newspaper published in Paris supplies a startling, not to say fantastic, version of events which are said to have followed the disappearance of General Ivoutepoff, the White Russian leader, who was kidnapped in a Paris street- in Januarv.
The newspaper states that General Koutepoff was carried off by Soviet secret agents, who immediately gave him a narcotic.
It is related that the body was then placed in a wicker hamper, and with other Soviet diplomatic luggage was taken to Stettin, whence it was conveyed to Danzig, and then to Moscow. In Moscow it was cremated in the presence of members of the political department of,, tho Ogpu—the Soviet secret police—and a report on the cremation was drawn up by a person who had known tho general during his lifetime.
